This is the same error of judgement made by climate change deniers Their evaluation of Australia (and the rest of the world) is calculated on - and limited to - what goes on in (literally) their own back yard

What is a white culture? Only one i can think of is the culture of getting pissed. British irish aussie. We dont actually have any culture except for getting on the piss.

What about the abolition of slavery, liberal democracy, Christianity etc?

Thats more culture than technology. Xtianity is religion. So is hinduism and budism. I dunno - kinda culture but i think of culture as customs and social behaviours. They can be caused by religion.

It's all culture. What you identify as culture is what you get when you subtract everything that has meaning or purpose from culture, leaving only the trivial. I would call that cultural baggage. It's like saying that Australian culture is meat pies.

Religion, human rights, democracy etc are deeply ingrained in our society. Societies that lack these things cannot take them up easily, even if they want them. We could forget meat pies overnight and our culture would not change. But you would have to kill a lot of people to get rid of religion, human rights, democracy.

Yeah okay that makes sense but this isnt really an xtian nation anymore is it. Nor are the other "white" countries. Rweligion doesnt play as big a part as in the 70s.

um,

the renaicance, the enlightenment,science, literature, architecture, skyscrapers, going to the moon, modern medicine, the automobile, technology, exploration, the westminster system.

i think one should be able to think of a few more achievements of the west then "getting pissed". Wink

Thats not culture

Spot

You are challenging Bwian for the leadership of the mindless and unmoored party.

Geez what a well thought out and informative argument

Yes, our culture is constantly evolving. It used to be a pie and a coke. Now it's a pie and an iced coffee.

Sorry that is not culture... that is diet.

Yeah you are right - however if we are talking about white culture it is food really isnt it.

Spot

No.
Are you still having problems working out what your definition of culture is.
BTW culture is not coloured. Roll Eyes

So? I was originally replying to someone that was talking about white culture. Of course i was answering from an aussie perspective. Go back and read the thread.

According to Harari, other aspects of our culture such as human rights have their roots in religion. As does much of our law.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
